Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can appear in water at very low concentrations. Because it behaves much like calcium in the environment, it can move with groundwater and enter a house through the main supply line. There’s no reliable taste, smell, or color to signal its presence, so the only way to know if it’s in your water is through testing that targets radionuclides.
In Juniper households, water is used for everything from cooking and making ice to bathing and brushing teeth—so potential contaminants matter at every tap. Point-of-use filters can protect a single faucet, but they leave the rest of the home exposed. If testing shows elevated strontium-90, the most consistent protection comes from treating water at the entry point so every fixture in your home receives the same treated water.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter option for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That ion exchange process also captures other positively charged contaminants, including strontium, so a properly selected softener can reduce strontium-90 as water enters your Juniper home. For many homeowners, this makes an ion exchange system a practical choice for entry-point treatment.
To perform reliably in Juniper, an ion exchange softener must be sized for your household’s water use and overall mineral load. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin’s ability to remove strontium, and routine maintenance helps sustain performance. Prefiltration to remove sediment can extend the life of the media. Mr. Pure Water can review your water test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup that targets strontium-90 effectively without adding unnecessary complexity.
